PROFESSOR MUHAMMAD YUNUS

Muhammad Yunus has built a new social finance model through Grameen Bank. Since inception, Grameen has broadened its services from microfinance to telecommunications, healthcare, nutrition, and more. Yunus’ ability to build businesses for the poor has led him to receive numerous prestigious honours such as the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Obama. By spreading microfinance across the globe, restructuring finance markets, and advancing the field of social enterprise, Yunus has shown himself to be a true pioneer.
